"so edgar allan poe was in this car"
the post about the albatrosses reminds me of this spoken word poem by terry jacobus.
(the images are kind of lame, and the background wind is annoying, but this is one of my favorite poems.)
Albatrosses


this photographer is documenting bodies of albatross chick's that died after eating our trash. each image is not digitally altered and shows their actual stomach contents. sad.

Seperation With Duct Tape
i decided to redo the "red hair twins" drawings with a greenish-gray wash background to give them some more depth. i also added a few more to the narrative. view them here.

Pacifism
i started a new series involving the "red hair girls" i've drawn in the past. they're all pretty small drawings, and i'd like to think about making them into a small book or something along those lines. you can click here to view more of the narrative. i'll be slowly adding on to it on the future, too, so check back.

regina spektor!
this is the first chance i've had to write about seeing regina spektor in concert. and i have an assortment of grainy, blurry photos to share, too!




above is a photo of her singing a song i'd never heard before a cappella. one of the lines was, "brown eyes are the truest eyes of them all." ;) i have brown eyes. it was a funny song though, at the end of the song it went, "what am i even talking about, don't believe any of this song, my eyes are blue," etc. below is her accompanying herself on a beautifully colored electric guitar. i was pretty psyched when she played "that time."

today i tried to make a custom dress form using plaster gauze. i think i'm going to have redo it to actually use it as a dress form, but i really liked the effect of the gauze so i took some pictures. i think i'm gonna experiment more with the material... it was hard to breathe though, i gotta say. click the image to link to a few more photos on my flickr.

yesterday we went to a list of galleries for class. i took a few pics, saw some interesting things. we saw a jean-michel basquiat painting being sold for nine million dollars.
this flower garden installation wasn't on our list of galleries, but we saw it from the outside and couldn't resist going in.









we saw kanye west's girlfriend, amber rose walking around chelsea too. she's shorter than i thought. that's probably because she was wearing sneakers and sweats. and an insane amount of make up. yeah. no kanye in sight, thankfully. i'm not a fan.

PS1 art book fair
this weekend was pretty awesome. it involved two separate parties, one where it felt like the whole williamsburg emergency department showed up because some kid was climbing on a construction site,
(ex. 1)


and one where the party hosts' owned 9 goya etchings on their living room wall, which me and another friend had a small conniption about for a few minutes on saturday night.
it also included attending a really overwhelming art book fair at PS1 in queens, the MOMA's counterpart. there were a ridiculous amount of artists and galleries selling themselves. i have to say i did really want to buy a beautiful sophie calle book, but somehow decided not to when i saw the 150$ price tag. i saw a william powhida piece like i said in my last post, and a lot of other interesting things. i signed up for a lot of mailing lists and half heartedly looked at prints, books, and posters that i couldn't really afford. i did love this elevator installation they had at PS1 though, although it was also pretty seizure inducing (you can see my friend jordan's face in the corner):

i liked this smart ass note on the wall someone put up in contrast to all the posters and prints and merchandise hung up on other artists' walls (if you can't read it, it says THIS SPACE DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING, MOVE ALONG):

i liked how they were screenprinting bags right there in one of the rooms:

and these bittersweet manhattan circa 9-11 matchboxes by tobias wong:

this huge installation outside PS1:
those few pictures are only the tip of the iceberg of what was all being shown. one thing i didn't like was the pouring rain that managed to get us all wet. what i did like about the rain is that PS1 had these huge tarps outside to ward off rain, but every once in a while too much rain would collect and- whoosh! dump all over some unassuming art fair goer. success! it missed me by about 30 seconds when i was going inside.
i also got to spend some time hanging out with one of my teachers from corcoran who happened to be in town, which was really nice, as well as go out to dinner with a newer friend from nysp. yay! good weekend.
